Paipote , Chile -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- In short order , freed miner Victor Antonio Segovia dispatches with some of the myths swirling around the 33 men rescued from the depths of the earth this week : He has no plans to write a book about what he endured in the San Jose mine , he is n't going to sue anyone for the collapse , and he intends to go back to working in the area 's mines .

`` Just not that one , '' Segovia says .

All day Friday in the hardscrabble mining town of Paipote , Segovia 's family and neighbors ready the Segovia family home for his arrival from the nearby hospital . All 33 men underwent a barrage of medical testing to see how their record days of imprisonment underground had affected them mentally and physically . All but two miners were released from the hospital Friday , and all the men are expected to make a full recovery .

The Segovia family was particularly hard hit by the collapse . Two of the other trapped miners , Esteban and Pablo Rojas , are Segovia 's cousins .

`` Welcome home Victor Segovia , '' one neighbor said as she carried a handwritten sign greeting the miner into his home . `` If God has given you a new life and chance , grab on to it with everything you have . ''

The family has received gifts . While Victor 's brother Pedro Segovia waits under the scorching sun of Chile 's Atacama desert , he nervously toys with a brand new Sony media player . An anonymous gift left for the now famous miner .

Pedro Segovia said his brother is tough and untouched by how close he came to dying in the dark recesses of the earth . `` We missed him a lot , '' Pedro Segovia said .

But for him its just like another shift . As if he worked for eight hours and came home .

If Segovia has troubling memories of his long , forced stay in the mine , so far he has n't shared them with his brother .

`` He 'll tell me at some point , '' Pedro Segovia said . `` What happened , what he lived through . ''

Inside the Segovia house are hints of how he passed the long weeks of eternal darkness . Two Chilean flags decorate a wall in a courtyard behind the Segovia 's home . In carefully etched blue ink Victor drew a miner with a drill over a 33 on the white section of the flag .

Below , each miner wrote his name and put his signatures in ordered columns .

`` For you with all my heart , '' Segovia wrote his mother Blanca . The flags were a gift for her 50th wedding anniversary and were delivered by way of the `` paloma '' tube system that sent food and letters to the men .

`` He likes to play the guitar , accordion and organ , '' Blanca Segovia said with pride about her son , who learned to play the instruments without any formal training . `` We are going to have a nice party for him . ''

But for the guest of honor just getting to the party will be almost as difficult as the previous legs of his journey . As the afternoon wears on , more and more media trickle into the neighborhood . Tripods and cameras are posted like sentries in front of the Segovia home .

It has all the makings of an ugly media scene . So photographers agree and shake hands that all will stay in a fixed line so everyone can get an unobstructed shot of Segovia 's homecoming . But hours later as Segovia steps from a van , a still photographer lurches forward and the plan is scrapped .

Pushing against the wave of cameramen , Chilean police nearly have to carry the miner into his family 's home . One of the photographers gets into a showing match with an officer after the melee .

As the party gets under way , though , clapping and joyous chants of `` Chi Chi Chi , Le Le Le , los mineros de Chile , '' can be heard from outside the house .

Then journalists still hanging around the house receive an invitation to come in and speak with the miner .

Segovia appeared understandably worn from his ordeal and the crush of media attention . As reporters ask him questions , he looks down . His voice is soft and his answers are clipped .

`` That was quite something , '' he said simply of the August 5 mine collapse . `` That was something very ugly . ''

He said he has been to Camp Hope , where family members waited for the miners ' rescue . `` I do n't need to go back , '' he said .

Segovia said he missed his family terribly while in the mine . And , he said , he has become someone who `` thinks more about God . ''

`` We were a team , '' he said of the 33 men . `` But all the same there were problems . So much time together , like any family , the problems start but were ones we worked out . ''

Other miners have told CNN that the 33 men swore an oath never to discuss the details of what took place as the men struggled to survive in the mine .

Before he goes back to the party , Segovia makes it clear he is not completely free of the mine .

`` Down there you were always tired and did n't have any nightmares , '' he said . `` Here you have nightmares until you realize you are out . ''
